InfoPath Dev

I'm still very new with Infopath Form. Okay here's what I have done so far. I'm doing a tutorial I found online that integrate SharePoint with InfoPath. This is what I need to do and I have done all of those three. First, Create a content type “Book” with the following columns Title Author (text) Edition (text) Page Count ...

I'm sorry if I am asking something very stupid The reason I asked the question is because the live server I'm having is very fragile and very old, every now and then it will break down for no reason. I do not want to be the person that break the server a part. I'm just adding two new fields and one rule, without touching ...

[quote user="Skarn"] hi yyc, my reverse text doesn't work as well as I thought - it suffers from an issue (which isn't really a bad thing) where Infopath won't let rules change a field continuously in case it gets stuck in a loop. I hadn't tested my reverse method with enough characters *blush*. So at this stage I ...

[quote user="Skarn"]I can do this, using rules and no code. Can you please confirm for me if the following is correct. "User types in words, when they move to next field, any words past the #th word are deleted." where # is a number decided by you. Then, if you cross my palm with gol...hehe kidding. Then I'll post an ...

[quote user="Jimmy"]I don't think there is a simple way to make it dynamic.  You could modify it to nest more substring-after(..., " ")s in there until you have 200.  Why do you want to to get the first 200 words of a string anyway?  Wouldn't the number of characters be a more valid measurement in most ...

[quote user="Jimmy"]No, I don't think there's anything as simple as what you're asking about, but this should work for getting the first 6 words of a string: substring(field, 1, string-length(field) - string-length(substring-after(substring-after(substring-after(substring-after(substring-after(substring-after(field, " ...

The end result should be "Represents text that should be kept". So it should print 6 words instead of 6 characters.

I know that I can set substring in the rule and apply the rule in the InfoPath. But substring can only get the character out and not the whole word. Is it possible to substring the whole word instead of getting characters. For example, I have this string name input: "Represents text that should be kept confidential." If I use the ...

I kind of solve the problem. If I use this, I will get any errors. concat( substring((string-length(Description)), 1, ((string-length(Description)) But now the rules will not even trigger. I try plug in a simple "abcd" in the field. It will not even display those to me. If SummaryDescription is blank Set ...

In my InfoPath form I have a field name called: "Description". Now I added another field called: "SummaryDescription". Which is suppose to take the first 200 words from the Description field. The rules I wrote for "SummaryDescription" is (this rule will apply only if "SummaryDescription" is blank): ...
